I know you have alot of time... but I'm trying to find someone to point me in the right direction to help support these kids.
When school began this year, we started having problems with Hedgesville High school. They sent home 32 kids today for wearing the black gothic looking clothes, eyeliner, pentacles and make up that they have wore there the year before.  They were told that it symbolized satanic gang behavior.  There is nothing in the hand book about makeup.  They are good smart kids that dont get in trouble.  They just choose to be different, creative and individuals who are extremely smart kids.  But let them wear a little bit of eyeliner and they get tossed out of school.  These kids choose to be in school, not out being a "gang member" or being a juvenile delinquent.  All they want to do is to be themselves.  Whether they are christians, wiccans, atheists, Jews, Pegans, Satanists or what ever they choose to be... shouldn't be discriminated against it.
Please help us
This is a link to the nbc station that took our story... however it was 32 kids sent home... not 4... my daughter included....check it out and cast a vote to help us out

Shut your mouth.
If a school demands  certain clothes banned, they have a right to do so.
School is for education, not to get attention and dress like a moron.

Good on the school for sending those  idiots home.

whatever

Well the principal had no right to do it cuz there was nothing in the handbook that says they can't, however the school has the right to ban it.

They were told that it symbolized satanic gang behavior.

If they could be confused for gang members, I guess that's fine. It's for their safety that they change their clothing if there's a gang around the area that dresses like that. But the same could be said for everybody who wears those tight jeans with the fuzzy boots. It's really just a style.

Is there a gang near that area who's clothing style is gothic? If that's not the case, I say we sue those rotten bastards.

Everyone is entitled to there own opinion. But some of these are just ridiculous. It's like you're all saying these kids should all dress the same. It's a figgin free country, if some boy wants to wear black nail polish and eyeliner, let them. Seriously, if yall have problem with it, go the fuck away. I think it's stupid that those kids got sent home, it's not right.

Really, if a gang suddenly decides it's a symbol, it's banned. What would happen if gang's decided clothes were symbol? Would we all have to walk around naked? We can never win.

I find it amusing/ disgusting that school officials can actually get away with banning things that they argue symbolize devil-worship.

But yeah, stupid call overall.

If you have a problem with hedonism, you're probably not doing it right.
